NU executive pay is revealed, which is nice timing. State Representatives, including Chris Donovan (D – Meriden) and Vickie Nardello (D – Prospect, Cheshire) are naturally concerned; the situation makes one wonder exactly what sort of work these guys do to merit all this compensation.
Predictions are that voter turnout in Wallingford, Southington, Cheshire, and Meriden will be on the light side, typical of a local election year. It’s odd, since local elections make a lot more immediate difference in the lives of residents.
Wallingford will add a full-time technician to manage and care for the high tech equipment the school system now owns. This seems a reasonable and necessary step.
Whoever had the idea – the super debt reduction committee? – to proceed nationally on the debt by taxing employer-based medical insurance plans had a simply awful idea. How to draw a bead on your own foot and shoot!
Food pantries in the area, including Southington Community Services, Wallingford’s Master’s Manna, and Cheshire Community Food Pantry are short of supplies after helping out during the recent snow emergency. Now is a good time to bring in food supplies to help re-stock these shelves.
Crews are at work trying to restore cable TV lines too, as many were damaged during the storm. It’s not quite as life-and-death as electricity and heat, but it’s very important to lots of people who are dependent on it as a source of information.
Hubbard Park in Meriden is closed as the city attends as a first priority to power lines which supply homes and businesses. Volunteers are at work on trails as well, but this process could take a while both at Hubbard and along the linear trail.
Southington is moving forward with another purchase of open space, this on the 25-acre Primus property. Funds -- $2.3 million – include some from the clean-up costs assessed and paid to the Quinnipiac River Groundwater Natural Resource Damages Fund.
